His Sword and His Shield

Ciel Phantomhive and his faithful butler, Sebastian Michaelis, have just stumbled across the greatest thing they could ever hope to find; Cecelia is a young Wolf demon who has lost all her memories except for a select few. For example, she knows her last name starts with a "D" and that she is an expert swordsman. When Ciel takes her on as his new bodyguard, things quickly escalate into the greatest mystery anyone could have imagined. All leading up to the biggest question of them all: WHO is Cecelia D?(PS: Yes, the artwork I used for the cover IS, in fact, MINE)

Ciel raised an eyebrow; what had Sebastian meant by that? Then again, did he really want to know?

Cecelia had not moved an inch since Sebastian had left her. Every part of her burned from his touch, and she craved him. Oh, how she craved the feel of his lips against hers. She wanted him to explore her, inside and out.

With a snarl, she forced herself to sit up. How could she think of having sex now?! Raul was out there, the house needed to be protected, and Ciel was more than likely scheming some plan to solve a new case that would probably get him captured once again.

"I need some fresh air," Cecelia told herself and got dressed, "perhaps a boarder patrol would do me some good."

Cecelia grabbed her sword and leapt out of her window (she didn't wish to bother Ciel or run into Sebastian). The grass was soft beneath her shoes, and provided a comfortable landing.

"Cece," she turned to catch Finni as he flung himself into her chest, "It's so good to see you back on your feet! Mr. Sebastian said you had hit your head pretty hard the other day."

"Did he?"

Finni nodded and continued to grasp the Wolf, who smiled and laid her head on his. Had she snuggled up to Raul this way? Had he cared for her the way she did Finni?

"Finni," they both turned to see Bard rushing towards them, "you let the mower run wild!"

Cecelia chuckled as the two boys ran off to fix Finni's little mistake. Before Bard could begin his flirting, she snuck away.

A lovely howl began to tear itself from her throat as she walked slowly next to the large iron gate which surrounded the estate. The pitches rose and fell as the tune carried itself back towards the manor. Cecelia gazed up at the sky as a couple of crimson cardinals twittered above her head.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Wolf," Cecelia's head snapped in the direction of the new voice, "I had heard you were under the weather today."

She instantly recognized the dark hair and glasses, "Claude! What is it you want?"

"I believe I have already discussed this with you," the Trancy butler glared as the girl fingered the hilt of her weapon, "Master Trancy wishes to see you."

"Well, I do not wish to see HIM," the Wolf snarled, her fangs showing, "Leave now before I am forced to take action!"

"Such a violent creature," Claude said calmly, "not at all like your brother. At least Raul knows his manners."

Cecelia prepared to let loose a warning howl. Sebastian HAD to know about Claude. Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around her waist while another grabbed her legs. She glanced backwards to see three boys with dark violet hair. Triplets, from the looks of it. One had her arms, the other her legs, and the third bore down upon her with a soaked cloth.

With a quick breath, the she Demon released a bloodcurdling howl.

Sebastian and Ciel turned towards the window. The howl carried over the trees, ending abruptly.

"Cecelia!," Sebastian took off down the hall and stopped at her door.

Not bothering to knock, he burst in. Of course, she was nowhere in sight. Her sword was gone as well.

"Mr. Sebastian," he peered out the window at Finni and Bard, "What was that?"

"Where's Cecelia?"

"She went for a walk to clear her head," Bard explained, "Oi, Sebastian, what's going on 'round here?"

The butler did not answer as he returned to Ciel, "Young Master. It appears that our Wolf has been stolen from us."

"Well," Ciel smirked, "I think you and I both have a good idea where she's been taken. I think it's time to pay Alois Trancy a visit."
